Dubai's new 23-km cycling track is now 70 per cent complete and is slated to open to the public in October.
The Seih Assalam - Nad Al Sheba track will be linked to the existing cycling lane of Seih Assalam at Al Qudra Road and extended further towards Emirates Road, Latifa bint Hamdan Road, Shaikh Zayed Road and Al Barari.
"The cycling path at Seih Assalam includes the Gate of the Dubai Cycling Track, several public utilities, outlets for renting bikes and accessories, a fully equipped medical clinic and 10 rest points," explained Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors at the Roads and Transportation Authority (RTA).
Al Tayer said additional cycling tracks are being "considered".
"In the last quarter of this year, the RTA will embark on the construction of a cycling path at the Marina to serve Dubai Tram users, and is also mulling (over) the construction of cycling tracks in a number of residential areas," he said. "The construction of cycling tracks is intended to complement the construction of internal roads and pavements in residential areas, and link them with attraction points such as public parks and malls."
Al Tayer said these cycling tracks are being built in response to a directive from His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to provide options that encourage the use of bicycles in the emirate.
